Analysis of the Network The most common occupation in my list is a teacher. There are four teachers in the list three ladies and a man. The reason for this is because I have two relatives in the teaching field, and then they introduced me to their two colleagues who have come to know.

The advantage of CoP is that it provides the individual members with access to knowledge and experience that they could not have gotten it on their own (Deese-Roberts, 2010). This approach has the advantage of not only building their confidence but also enhancing their professional practice.

Self-Development Plan and Ethical Analysis Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to understand and manage one’s emotions in positive ways to communicate, listen, relieve stress, and empathize with others effectively. Through EI, an individual can build stronger relationships, succeed at the workplace, and achieve one’s personal and career goals (Akila and Thangavel, 2011). Besides, EI can assist a leader in connecting with his or her feelings and thus making a decision that matters most to him or her (Ralston et al., 2018). When a leader loses his or her temper at the workplace, it can create an environment of fear which may affect the team’s productivity. One of the approaches I will incorporate to develop increased levels of emotional intelligence is self-management. Through self-management, I will be able to control both my feelings and behaviors to manage emotions in ways such as taking the initiative, following through the commitment, and adapting to the circumstances (Vazquez, 2016). Also, I will try to cultivate pleasant feelings, such as happiness, appreciation, and enthusiasm. On the other hand, I will ensure…
